Finance & Photos

Happy Friday, everyone.

Have you been trying to make sense of the entire financial crisis?  It's a twisted system and money seems to be flying left and right.  Thankfully the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis has put together a timeline of the financial crisis.  It's an engaging website with documents and other information pertaining to the nation's continuing efforts to control the economic swings.

Also, do you like old photographs?  Do you need old photographs for a project in one of your classes?  If so, the Library of Congress now has a huge archive of photos on its Flickr account online.  You can see color photos from the Great Depression in one of their collections.

They also have a new collection of photos of Abraham Lincoln, from when he was a young lawyer all the way up to the days before his assassination.
